Fear of Rabies

2023-01-28 13:36:47
A puppy was bitten by a stray dog infront of my house, I rescued the puppy but it's quite possible I came in contact with his saliva. As per my memory whenever I touched the puppy or came in contact with his saliva, I washed my hands with soap within few(4-5) mins. Should I take any other precaution like vaccination and all.

You should take vaccination. Animal handlers have a different vaccination schedule which is repeated every year whether you are bitten by a dog or not.
